The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bare Vanilla Shimmer by Victoria's Secret, launched in 2018, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that balances the warmth of vanilla with earthy undertones. The composition begins with the sweetness of vanilla, enveloping you in its comforting embrace before transitioning into powdery and woody notes. This fragrance offers a subtle musky base with hints of amber that add depth without overpowering the senses, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm, lingering effect. The vanilla opening is immediate but fades into the woody base notes within an hour, so one or two sprays are sufficient for the whole day.
